Unlicensed Cicero man arrested for hit and run accident

March 19, 2007, 4:10 PM
A 48-year-old man living in the 1500 block of Kenilworth reported driving northbound on Home in the 1900 block when his Durango was struck by a silver Taurus pulling out of a parking space. The Taurus did not stop, so the Durango driver followed it to the rear of an address in the 6900 block of 16th. There he saw the driver flee on foot. Police found the Taurus was registered to a 20-year-old man from Cicero; it was towed. The offender later showed up at the police station with his mom and dad; he admitted causing the accident and said he had run away because he was scared. The offender is unlicensed and was arrested.
